Weekly Deals

Opps, I forgot to post this.....Weekly deals end Monday @ Midnight mountain time.
Great buy on everything this week.

Here is a quick share....the idea of the card layout came from French Martin  blog Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie.   We did this at one of my Senior Center Classes

Real Red and Very Vanilla Card stock I have to admit one of the stamp sets Valentine Defined is retired but it is so darn cute and a great V-Day set.  The dsp is called Love Letters and it is retired too, I am not overly crazy for the new DSP for Valentine's Day.  Enjoy
Have a happy Sunday and remember to DO One Thing Today that Makes YOU Happy!

Card in a box

Hi All
I wanted to share a project that we are doing tomorrow at the Library.  It is called a Card in a Box.  I got this idea from Splitcoast Stampers website some time ago.  I themed my card a Baby card but you can do it with any idea you have.  Hope you enjoy.

I used teh 2013-2015 In colors for my palette and the Lullaby Designer Series Paper. 
Thanks for stopping and have a great weekend.
Hugs

SAY WHAT (you might ask)

THE ANNUAL OCCASIONS MINI AND SALE-A-BRATOIN EVENT!!!!  Join me online on January 6th - March 31st.

Welcome all and a very Happy New Year. 

 We are gearing up for the launch of the Occasions Mini Catalog and our annual event Sale-A-Bration.  It is the best time to Host a Stampin' UP! workshop (more free stuff), to Purchase Stampin' UP! products (again free stuff) or Join Stampin' UP!(you guessed it get more free stuff).  All this starts on January 6th.  If you haven't already received your copy of the Occasions Mini and the Sale-a-Brations Catty, from your demonstrator, contact him or her today for your special copy.  You will also be able to see the Catalogs on line on the 6th when they go live.   

I wanted to share a card I did using one of my favorites from the Sale-A-Bration catalog which I was able to earn with my preview order (another perk of being a Demonstrator)  I just fell in love with this set at the Catalog preview in December.  The set is called Lotus Blossom, this Photoplymer set has 7 pieces and featured the 2 Step Stampin' Technique.  It is FREE with a purchase of $50.  I hope you enjoy

The card stock I used is Whisper White, Blushing Bride and Smoky Slate.  I cut the base from   Whisper White 4 1/8 x 10 3/4, and scored it at 5 3/8. I cut a second piece of Whisper White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.  This is the piece I stamped for my front.  This stamp set is so great it has little tabs on each of the flower stamps so you can get they flower matched just right.  And they are numbered so you know which one to use.  First I stamped in Basic Gray, next layer of my flower is Strawberry Slush then top it off with Blushing bride.  I added the stem in Old Olive and the sentiment in Basic Gray.  I alternated the Candy Dots between Basic Gray and Blushing Bride.  The inside of the card was stamped with two more flowers and I used a phase from Painted Petals set which is in the Occasions Mini.  To finish the card I matted the stamped piece with Smoky Slate mat cut to 4 x 5 1/4 then used Stampin' Dimensionals to mount it the front of the card base.  I finished it off  by mounting the card to a piece of Blushing Bride card stock which was cut 4 1/4 x 5  1/2 .  
I'll be back soon with more shares from the New Occasions Mini & Sale A Bration catalogs.  Until next time......Be kind and do one thing today that makes YOU happy.
Blessings

News from Stampin UP and a Share

Merry Christmas!!! I hope you are all settling in for your celebration with family & friends.  We don't have company this year so it will be quite for us.  I am super excited about the new Occasions Mini & Sale-A-Brations Mini that will go into effect on the 5th of January.  I placed my preorder at the begining of the month and haven't had a chance to play with anything.  But I do now!  I am working on some cards for my Senior Center Class and Spring Projects for the next Lee County Library series.  I usually get stuck thinking of new Ideas for the Library, I like to keep it interesting for the attendees.

Couple of news tidbits for today are the

My last Christmas Card....

I saw a wreath card on a fellow demonstrator's website but don't remember who.  I had to try to make it.  It is done with the Pine Cone from Ornamental Pine Set.  You punch a circle from a post it and them stamp around the circle overlapping the post-it.  I used two colors and my wreath is fuller than the one that I saw.  I punched small circles from scraps of Red Glimmer paper and added a bow.  I did this card on a piece of Whisper White Stamped in Red.  I added a background piece of Real Red to give it a bit of color.  Hope you enjoy.

 Have a Peace filled Christmas and a Bright & Happy New Year.

Until next time......Do one thing today that makes YOU happy!

Don't forget to check out the January Jax Starz Blog Hop on Saturday Jan 3rd.  Our theme is Valentines Day. 

Welcome to the Jacksonville Starz December Blog Hop!

Welcome, welcome, welcome, so glad you stopped by today.  You are going to see some fabulous cards from the Starz.  This month we did our card using a sketch we were given.  Here is the sketch

And here is my card

 
I used Crumb Cake for my base, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and a bit of Early Espresso Card Stock.  Gold Glimmer and a scrap of Red Glimmer & some 1/8" Gold Ribbon.  I matted my Vanilla with the piece of Cherry Cobbler and embossed both pieces at the same time with the Stylish Stripes TIEF.  Next I took the strip of Early Espresso and finished both long edges with the Lacy Finishing Touches Thinlits, banded it with a piece of 1/8" Gold Ribbon.  I punched 2 tags with the Note Tag Punch (which is being carried over into the Occasions Mini YEA) one in Very Vanilla, the other from Gold Glimmer Paper.  Using the Be Merry stamp from the Holiday Invitations Stamp Set (that we got FREE at Convention, another perk of being a SU Demonstrator), I stamped the Be at the top of the Vanilla Tag and the Merry closer to the bottom in Cherry Cobbler.  Then cut both tags in half and made my faux frame.  I punched the Tree from Gold Glimmer Paper and the star from a scrap of Red Glimmer paper.  To assemble I mounted the Vanilla/Cherry mat to the base, next using snail I ran a strip of adhesive along the seam the mounted the Espresso stripe.  I added the Tree and Star with Glue dots.  The Tag is slipped behind the strip and held in place with a small piece of Sticky Strip.  I hope you enjoy my card and follow the hop to Monique Zimmer Creations.


Until next time.....be kind and DO One Thing Today that Makes YOU Happy!!
